Totally agree with this, but it's a different topic that is only partly about race. The whole "for profit prison" system would be a serious issue for the USA even if you could wave a magic wand and remove all racism in the country.

The point, though, is that if the argument is "look, we've all committed heinous crimes like theft, assault and drunk driving, and even been caught doing them, and the only reason we don't have a criminal record is because we're white"... just... no.
